WINE TO CHILL WITH

Marius Rouge Pays D’Oc

LCBO 470096, $12.95

French wine is getting lots of blogger buzz, largely because of new wines like this one from an iconic Rhône Valley producer. A powerful red with notes of coffee, tar and licorice, a generous mouth feel and silky tannins, it’s the wine to reach for when you just want to kick back and enjoy a burger or steak frites.
